Some great suggestions here on sports in which to get involved eventually--distance running and rowing would be fantastic for you!

Don't rush the healing process. As others have said, it's just not worth it. You don't fully know what the long term repercussions of this will be on your health yet. And isn't it better to err on the side of caution? It's your head :-)

I'm a female athlete too (sustained a concussion in a rugby match 5 weeks ago) and it's been extremely tough not being active. Every time I try to run, my concussions symptoms return. One thing that's helped me is getting involved in coaching. That way I can still stay close to sports and be a part of my team.

Perhaps while you heal you can explore taking on some other roles within your hockey team or other sports teams. It may help to keep you fulfilled.

Good luck with your recovery and hang in there.
